But First, a Joke! (And Another Joke Down There)

But First, a Joke! (And Another Joke Down There)

Two cannibals were eating dinner. One said, "I really hate my sister." The other said, "Well, just eat the noodles."

About the Jokester:

Elisabeth Moss may have a confidence problem. Before she got the role as Peggy Olson, the secretary-turned-copywriter on AMC's Mad Men, she was Elisabeth Moss, the president's daughter on The West Wing. Before that she was Elisabeth Moss, sitting in a room, competing against the star of her favorite show: "I remember Danica McKellar — Winnie on The Wonder Years — was in the waiting room at one of my West Wing auditions," the 29-year-old says. "I thought, There's no way I'm getting this." But Moss got the job and after seven successful seasons, landed Mad Men. It took a while for the success of the show to sink in. "When Jon [Hamm] won the Golden Globe that first year, I thought, This is actually happening. People are actually watching." It's probably time she moved on from the demure phase of her career. We're glad we can help with that.

I grew up in L.A. I come from an all-musician family — I'm the only actor. I started acting when I was five. I did ballet and acting to fifteen, and then just acting from fifteen on. I moved to New York when I was nineteen, so that was ten years ago, and have just been working off and on my whole life. More on recently, which has been nice.
